Our Research
The Pocket PE program is the culmination of 13 years of research and lessons learned with classroom teachers who are responsible for physical education instruction with their students. Please review our manuscripts that informed the development of Pocket PE, and stay tuned for our Pocket PE prototype evaluation findings!
PE Professional Development for Classroom Teachers
This research study evaluates a trainer in residence professional development program designed to improve physical education instructional attitudes and practices in elementary school generalist teachers.
Circuit-based PE lessons: A recipe for student and teacher success!
This research study evaluates the preliminary efficacy of incorporating circuit-based (i.e., rotating activity stations) PE lessons on student fitness and physical activity levels. Based on these encouraging findings, circuit-based lessons were included in the Pocket PE app prototype.
Pocket PE Protoype Evaluation Findings
Once available, we will share our preliminary evaluation findings from 9 classroom teachers who used the Pocekt PE app over a 3-week period to teach their PE classes!
